The land of decoration

the long version

Judith and her father don't have much but Judith sees the world with the clear Eyes of Faith, and where others might see rubbish, Judith sees possibility. Bullied at school, she finds solace in making a model of the Promised Land - a world of wonder that Judith calls The Land of Decoration. Perhaps, she thinks, if she makes snow indoors there will be no school on Monday. Sure enough, when Judith opens her curtains the next day, the world beyond her window has turned white. She has performed her first miracle - and that's when her troubles begin.
